The Influence of Medium on Low-Voltage Circuit Breaker Arcs

This paper mainly focuses on the influence of three kinds of media： air, air-10%PA （Nylon） and air-10% POM （polyoxymethylene） on low-voltage circuit breaker arcs. A threedimensional （3-D） model of arc motioa under the effect of external magnetic field is built based on magnetohydrodynamics （MHD） equations. By adopting the commercial computational fluid dynamics （CFD） package based on the control-volume method, the above MHD equations are solved. For the media of air-10%PA and air-10%POM, the distributions of stationary temperature and electrical potential and the transient motion processes are compared with those of air arc. The research shows that both air-10%PA and air -10% POM can cool the arc plasma and the former is more effective. Both of them can increase the stationary voltage as well. Moreover, the presence of the two mixtures can accelerate the arc motion toward the quenching area and ensures the arc quenched in time.     

Effects of circumferential pick spacing on boom type roadheader cutting head performance

Effects of equal and unequal circumferential pick spacing on the performance of boom type roadheaders having cylindrical cutting heads are investigated. For this purpose, two experimental cutting heads with equal and unequal circumferential spacing are designed and manufactured. The cutting head with unequal circumferential spacing is specifically designed to prevent tool-holder overlap at the nose section. Manufacturing difficulties associated with equal circumferential pick spacing due to tool-holder overlap are discussed with solid modeling and practical applications. The heads are tested at Park Cayirhan Coal Mine in Turkey and their cutting performances are analysed. Although better cutting performance for equal circumferential spacing are predicted by force–balance analysis, in situ measurements of instantaneous (net) traversing speed and cutting rate, pick consumption rate and machine vibration show that no significant difference exists between the performances of the two cutting heads.     

Quality assessment of SRTM C- and X-band interferometric data: Implications for the retrieval of vegetation canopy height

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission distinguished itself as the first near-global spaceborne mission to demonstrate direct sensitivity to vertical vegetation structure. Whether this sensitivity is viewed as exploitable signal or unwanted bias, a great deal of interest exists in retrieving vegetation canopy height information from the SRTM data. This study presents a comprehensive application-specific assessment of SRTM data quality, focusing on the characterization and mitigation of two primary sources of relative vertical error: uncompensated Shuttle mast motion and random phase noise. The assessment spans four test sites located in the upper Midwestern United States and examines the dependence of data quality on both frequency, i.e., C-band vs. X-band, and the number of acquired datatakes. The results indicate that the quality of SRTM data may be higher than previously thought. Novel mitigation strategies include a knowledge-based approach to sample averaging, which has the potential to reduce phase noise error by 43 to 80%. The strategies presented here are being implemented as part of an ongoing effort to produce regional- to continental-scale estimates of vegetation canopy height within the conterminous U.S.     

Mechanism of heat transport in nanofluids

We have calculated thermal conductivity of alumina nanofluids (with water and ethylene glycol as base fluids) using temperature as well as concentration-dependent viscosity, η. The temperature profile of η is obtained using Gaussian fit to the available experimental data. In the model, the interfacial resistance effects are incorporated through a phenomenological parameter α. The micro-convection of the alumina nanoparticle (diameter less than 100 nm) is included through Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The model is further improved by explicitly incorporating the thermal conductivity of the nanolayer surrounding the nanoparticles. Using this improved model, thermal conductivity of copper nanofluid is calculated. These calculations capture the particle concentration-dependent thermal conductivity and predict the dependence of the thermal conductivity on the size of the nanoparticle. These studies are significant to understand the underlying processes of heat transport in nanofluids and are crucial to design superior coolants of next generation.

Twenty-five years of natural coordinates

In the early eighties, the author and co-workers created and further developed the natural coordinates to describe the motion of 2-D and 3-D multibody systems. Natural coordinates do not need angles or angular parameters to define orientation, leading to constant inertia matrices and to the simplest form of the constraint equations. Natural coordinates are composed by the Cartesian coordinates of some points and the Cartesian components of some unit vectors distributed on the different bodies of the system. The points and vectors can be located in the joints, being shared by contiguous bodies, decreasing or even eliminating the need to set joint constraints and reducing the total number of variables. However, other authors prefer not to share variables in order to get even simpler equations and to keep a bigger decoupling of equations, which is preferable in some cases. In this paper the history of natural coordinates is reviewed, as well as the main contributions coming from other research groups. In the second part of the paper some application areas in which natural coordinates can be particularly advantageous are examined. Commemorative Contribution.

低效气藏成因层次剖析

由于我国低效气藏的储量所占比例很大，故而有必要对其进行深入研究，形成适合于不同层面的研究方法和思路，以期达到指导勘探开发生产的目的。为此，将低效气藏剖析为四个层面（气藏开发特征层面、现有地质特征层面、历史地质成因层面、预测及改造层面），并用层次分析法对其进行了研究：第一层次是直接由生产来认识，第二层次通过分析、化验、监测来了解，第三层次通过地质过程和地质历史回溯来表述，第四层次依据现有地质理论，通过地质过程叠合，最终达到预测、改造、有效动用低效气藏的目的。研究结果认为，可以依据不同层次特征对低效气藏进行分类评价：第一层次从经济效益出发，依据投入产出比进行分类；第二层次着眼气藏现今地质特征，表征其地质特征，而储层分布、渗透性则为分类的主要依据；第三层次从气藏形成地质过程着手，分析低效气藏形成过程，沉积和成岩作用作为分类的关键因素；第四层次基于气藏地质特征，预测开发动态，改造气藏特征，促使气藏有效动用。
